Spring Colors Cowl Free Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

The Spring Colors Cowl Crochet Pattrn
By Sara Sach of
 Posh Pooch Designs
I was looking through my Yarn Stash and saw these 4
 colors of yarn laying next to each other in a basket.
Lavender, Pink, Medium Blue and White, 
and wished I had a scarf, cowl or shawl  to wear in those colors for Spring. I usually go for Bright colors, but really loved the way these 4 colors looked together.
We have added a Shorter Version of 
the Colors Cowl and a Video

See The Video on My Youtube Crochet 
Channel At This LINK
I designed a Lacy open worked Cowl, that is perfect for Spring.
 It can be worn several ways.
Draped,     Long or
Off The Shoulders. And I added a Big Loopy Flower.

Spring Colors Cowl including the Big Loopy Flower
Crochet pattern is now available in an
